To send someone a secure e-mail message using PGP, you should use which of the following?

The recipient's private key

Your public key

Your private key

The recipient's public key

EXPLANATION

Pretty good privacy (﻿PGP) can be used to send messages
confidentially. For this, PGP combines symmetric-key encryption and
public-key encryption. The message is encrypted using a symmetric
encryption algorithm, which requires a symmetric key. Each symmetric key
is used only once and is also called a session key. The message and its
session key are sent to the receiver. The session key must be sent to
the receiver so they know how to decrypt the message, but to protect it
during transmission, it is encrypted with the receiver's public key. Only the private key belonging to the receiver can decrypt the session key.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy﻿
